Package: lintian Version: 2.5.5 Hi
I am considering to retire a number of old tags I suspect are now useless. The following tags are no longer emitted by any package in the entire archive and I suspect no packager will trigger them. use-of-compat-symlink postinst-should-not-set-usr-doc-link package-uses-obsolete-file old-style-example-dir old-style-copyright-file [AR] obsolete-field loads-obsolete-confmodule binary-nmu-uses-old-version-style ancient-dpkg-predepends-check ancient-dpkg-long-filenames-check doc-base-file-references-usr-doc Note: "old-style-copyright-file" is an auto-reject tag, but I see little merit in keeping it. Any package emitting said tag will end up emitting "no-copyright-file" instead. Furthermore, I am considering to drop the following tags: x11-games-should-be-in-usr-games manpage-for-non-x11-binary-in-wrong-directory manpage-for-x11-binary-in-wrong-directory package-installs-font-to-usr-x11r6 package-installs-file-to-usr-x11r6-bin old-app-defaults-directory Any package triggering any of those tags would (as far as I can tell) also trigger package-installs-file-to-usr-x11r6. So, do anyone believe any of these tags are still useful or could prevent an issue later? If not, I will remove them. ~Niels [AR] Auto-reject tag. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
